MARIGOLDS (Contiiiuecl) 
OTHER LARGE FLOWERED TYPES 
Sunset Giants. A fine giant flowered strain of Marigolds. Of 
Carnation-flowered type, long-stemmed, and in a variety of shades 
from golden orange to lemon. Favored by spring greenhouse 
conditions or more moderate summers, the blooms often become 
6-7 in. across. Fine for outdoors or winter or spring greenhouse 
culture. Largest flowers develop if grown one flower per plant. 
Tr. pkt., 35c; % oz., 50c; 1 oz., $1.80. 
Orange Sunset (New—All-American Winner). A rich lively 
orange segregation from the famous Sunset Giants; of the same 
fine large flowered habit as Sunset 
Giants and should be even more valu¬ 
able for forcing in this new form. 
Tr. pkt., 50c; % oz., $1.50; 1 oz., $5.50. 
American Beauty Hybrids (Chrys¬ 
anthemum-flowered Hybrids). Fine 
large incurved or Chrysanthemum type 
flowers. Attractive mixture and long¬ 
stemmed. Their rather late flowering 
habit of last season has been much im¬ 
proved upon this year, which should 
give them value for cutting. 
Tr. pkt., 35c; % oz., 75c; 1 oz., $2.75. 
American Beauty Orange. Similar in 
habit to above, but a deep strong 
orange. True to color. 
Tr. pkt., 35c; % oz., 85c; 1 oz., $3.15. 
American Beauty Yellow. Same, but 
a strong clear yellow. Nice. 
Tr. pkt., 35c; ^ oz., 85c; 1 oz., $3.15. 
Dixie Sunshine. Fully doubled Chrys¬ 
anthemum type flower. Long-stemmed 
and medium large flowered, but rather 
late for northern summers. Excellent 
in southern states. 
Tr. pkt., 35c; ^ oz., 75c; 1 oz., $2.50. 
Sunrise (New—All-American Winner). 
A real early flowering Dixie Sunshine. 
We find Sunrise of the same attrac¬ 
tively formed flower as its parent. 
Plenty early to flower in our mid-west, but not quite so long¬ 
stemmed as the old Dixie Sunshine. 
Tr. pkt., 50c; % oz., $1.40; 1 oz., $5.00. 
Crown of Gold. Odorless and an incurved or “mum” type flower 
with row of outer guard petals. Produce choice medium large cut 
flowers as a spring greenhouse crop but hardly strong enough 
where summers are hot. 
Tr. pkt., 20c; ^4 oz., 30c; 1 oz., $1.00. 
FRENCH MARIGOLDS 
The small flowered types. 9,000 seeds per ounce. 
DWARF SMALL FLOWERED. A most valuable class to flower 
in small pots for spring combinations. For this use sow early in 
January and carry on in a warm house. Also, this class is largely 
used for bedding. 
Golden Harmony. (1938 All-American Award). A bright golden 
yellow “twin” to Harmony. Has same dwarf free flowering habit 
and uniform trueness to type that has made Harmony so popular. 
Fine as a pot plant or for bedding. Medium early. 
Tr. pkt., 50c; % oz., $1.40; 1 oz., $5.00. 
Harmony. Attractive scabious-like double flowers; deep orange 
center with maroon red outer petals. Quite striking and valuable 
in combinations or for bedding. Dwarf and free flowering. 
Tr. pkt., 20c; V 4 , oz., 40c; 1 oz., $1.25; 4 ozs., $3.75. 
Royal Scot. All-Double. Showy fully double flowers nicely striped 
gold and mahogany. Quite uniform in color and habit; an ex¬ 
cellent strain. 
Tr. pkt., 25c; Vi oz., 50c; 1 oz., $1.85. 
Marigold Harmony—one of the most valuable 
dwarf bedding varieties 
Monarch Golden Ball. Fine golden orange. Monarch strains pro¬ 
duce a high per cent of full petaled tight double flowers. Finest 
in its color class. 12-15 in. 
Tr. pkt., 15c; 1 oz., 60c. 
Monarch Strain Mixed. Same fine fully doubled flowers as Mon¬ 
arch Golden Ball, but in an attractive mixture of colors. A very 
choice strain, but not quite so early flowering as the regular 
French Mixture. 
Tr. pkt., 15c; 1 oz., 60c; 4 ozs., $2.00. 
Dwarf French Double Mixed. An exceedingly colorful mixture 
with a most complete range of colors. Excellent for combinations 
or borders. 
Tr. pkt., 15c; 1 oz., 50c; 1 lb., $4.50. 
Robert Beist. Extra deep rich 
mahogany-red, medium large, fully 
80% double. Nice.

I*allida. Double lemon or light yellow. 
Uniform and nice. 
Tr. pkt., 15c; 1 oz., 60c. 
Fire Cross, Single. A light orange 
with mahogany-red center. Some 
deeper color than Legion of Honor. 
Remarkably true to type and fine for 
outdoors. 
Tr. pkt., 15c; 1 oz., 50c. 
Legion of Honor. Well known dwarf 
single. Bright yellow center contrast¬ 
ing nicely with the mahogany center. 
Both the above two dwarf singles are 
valuable for early flowering in small 
pots. 
Tr. pkt., 15c; 1 oz., 50c. 
Signata Pumila Little Giant. (Not a 
French type, rather Mexican.) Quite 
small single bright orange flowers very 
freely produced on uniformly dwarf 
bushy plants. Fine material for 
borders even in hot sections. 
Tr. pkt., 20c; Vi oz., 35c; 1 oz., 
$1.25. 
TALL SMALL FLOWERED. Certain varieties in this class are 
of particular value for spring cut flowers. 
Maroon Chief (New). Last spring we tried to flower Lieb’s Mari¬ 
gold from a February sowing and found that, due to its late habit, 
it came blind. Beside it, we noted this maroon and gold produc¬ 
ing a profusion of “Lieb” type flowers. We recommend^ it to the 
retail grower as a strain similar in color and form to Lieb’s, but 
superior for spring blooming. 
Tr. pkt., 25c; Vi oz., 50c; 1 oz., $1.85. 
Double Scotch Gold Striped. Highly effective and true, but 
rather late flowering for early frost sections. 2% ft. 
Tr. pkt., 20c; Vi oz., 35c; 1 oz., $1.00. 
Single Josephine. Small dark brown. 2 ft. 
Tr. pkt., 15c; 1 oz., 50c. 
WINTER FLOWERING. Of value for fall sowing to produce 
a continuous crop through the winter. See above Maroon Chief 
for a tall French variety for spring. 
Australian Tree. Strong growth, fairly long stemmed, mahogany 
red flowers with golden yellow crest in center. Of high value 
for winter culture, 
Tr. pkt., 25c; V2 oz., 60c; 1 oz., $1.00. 
Lieb’s. Not quite so long-stemmed or heavy as above, but more 
uniformly double flowered; mahogany and gold. 
Tr. pkt., 35c; bi oz., 60c; 1 oz., $2.25. 
Lieb’s Winter Sunshine. Similar to above in winter flowering 
habit, etc., but a bright golden orange with yellow center. 
Tr. pkt., 50c. 
Nothing more colorful for combinations than dwarf French Marigold.
